The Second International Conference on Solid State Science and Technology 2006 (ICSSST 2006) was a three-day conference on solid state science and technology. The conference was jointly organized by the University College of Science and Technology Malaysia (Kustem) as the host and the Malaysian Solid State Science and Technology Society (MASS). The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge in a high interdisciplinary field and to bring together scientists working in academic and applied research in the field of solid state science and technology. Solid state science is open to all aspects related to solid state: chemistry, physics, mechanics, structure, technology, and modeling and simulation. The chemical aspects concern novel ways of synthesis, new inorganic ceramics, layered, porous and glassy solid, hybrid organic-inorganic compounds synthesized either in the bulk or as thin films or nano-particles and the associated chemical properties (catalysts, sensors, ion exchangers, gas separation, etc.). The physical aspects are related to the structures and surface properties. A particular emphasis is placed on electrical (supermetallic or semiconductors, ionic and mixed conductors, dielectrics), on magnetic and magnet optical features associated with the structure, and on information storage. Optical behavior as a consequence of atomic structure, symmetry and defects. The mechanical properties associated with textural defects and interface behavior are encouraged, particularly in special issues devoted to advanced structural materials.
